@Glen Michael we charge an onboarding fee to owners, which they ALWAYS complain about, but they don't want to undertand why it's so important.We use the funds to check:1) Ownership: we verify property is actually properly deeded to their name, LLC, etc. - We've found issues where owners was NOT on the deed and was scammed- We've also had to patiently explain to owners that since an LLC owned the property, that the management contract had to be in the LLC name and we needed proof they could sign for the LLC.2) Property Taxes: we make sure we know the status, to avoid tax foreclosure issues.- Took over several properties for an out-of-country owner last year that we're in the midst of tax foreclosure.

Quote from @Michael Craven: Hey there- from what I understand, the possibility of restrictions on STRs is more so for properties in the city limits of Blue Ridge.

Great thanks @Michael Smythe, in your experience can you itemize the tenants that have the Resident Benefit Package? 

@Michael Battaglia   The #3 scenario is not the minority because it's difficult, its the minority because very few who invest in SF homes truly understand the asset class. 

We have come across Michael Blank, Mark and Tamiel Kenny, and Brad Somrock as potential mentors to work with.
